It is sad, to be in such a gorgeous area, and not even see it. I've always wondered if that is what I do with my camera. I take a LOT of photos when I am somewhere, but I think it's different. I see the world through my camera, and often see MORE than I would, but focusing on little things here and there. So maybe that is different. Guess it helps to have a 1910 flip phone, where you CAN'T do anything on it, but talk. Maybe that's an advantage.
Well said on watching the world go by in the blink of an eye, reflected off a screen with other stuff. I would LOVE to be on your beach under the palms right now, taking a nap in the breezes. Maybe someday. Cheers on a Saturday
